Never called any of the brothers and sisters in the KH aunt or uncle, none of the kids did. My parents had many friends when I was growing that they knew before my mother got baptized and instead of calling grown folks by their first name it was always Aunt or Uncle, but not the folks at the Hall.

Brother & Sisters, Aunts and Uncles.....husband and wife
by menrov inwas just thinking about the practice in wt (and i believe some other religions as well) to call your fellow female (baptized) jw a sister, a brother if it is a man.
children call older people aunt or uncle.
so, at home, i can call my wife by her first name etc.

what rebel8 said - if you've totally had it with all the lies and flip flops and bullshit the Borg comes up with just walk away, never to attend a meeting again, you will phone calls but just tell them to leave you alone it's your life, etc. if you get DFd in absentia, if you're not going back shouldn't really bother you, but some have had letters sent by attorneys saying any action taken without their permission and they will suffer legal consequeces

Anyone recall someone disfellowshipped for gluttony???
by James Mixon ingluttony seems to be a sin that jw's like to ignore .there are several scriptures that point out that gluttony is a sin, proverbs 23:20-21 "do not join those who gorge themselves on meat".....also i read somewhere that 1% is the number of disfellowshipped jw's each year......how do prove someone is a glutton and not just a person who love food???

He looked like he was about to explode.
i just can't stop laughing at that line, I've seen many obese people, but they all don't look they're going to explode. So I guess if someone stuck a needle in this guy like they're going to burst a balloon that would be the end of him.

my mother was overweight, but not obese, that would've been funny if the Borg did start dumping folks because of that, their numbers would've dropped dramatically and like I mentioned my mom was overweight, so I guess she would've been called in the back room for counsel to start a serious diet. . . what a bunch of morons!! and of course the ones holding those meetings would be overweight themselves, but, oh, they were appointed elders by the holy spirit, yeah, ok, sure, . . .bunch of morons

Gerrit Losch Claims JW's Attending College Are Spiritually Weak
by pale.emperor inhttps://www.facebook.com/jw.0027/videos/799049613609936/.
the video was posted directly to a pro-jw facebook page.
i cant believe what i'm hearing... actually, nothing surprises be about this cult anymore.. didn't they say to the judge in the arc that they dont discourage college?.

Losch needs to do what the now unemployed Mooch referred to a few days ago in one of his tweets, ease up a bit and not be so uptight. . Of course it would have a greater effect if Losch could get some hot, brick house sister to do it to him instead.

have to say after all the stories I've heard over the decades, this actually happens, but my mom and Elder dad never made a move in any way, hint or fashion to kick me out the house . . . HATE to give the Borg a positive mention, but I won't lie about it either as far as my household growing up was concerned
